*1 The J dimension is at fully closed.
*2 D1 differs from D2 when the fingers are closed because the shaft is ejected from the finger end. The J dimension differs from the value that is the G dimension with the stroke subtracted.
Precautions
- *Before using, please refer to the "Safety Precautions," the "Air Gripper Precautions," and the "Auto Switch Precautions."
- *If a workpiece is hooked onto the attachment, make sure that excessive impact will not occur at the start and the end of the movement. Failure to observe this precaution may result in shifting or dropping the workpiece, which could be dangerous.
- *See the manufacturer's catalog for information other than the above.
